what if a public option was created. One that was overseen by the government, and funded through what people voluntairly put into it. {SOME tax dollars would go into it's funding--Nature of the Beast--but the VAST majority of the funds for this Option would come from people who opt into using it as insurance.}

What if I want to put MY hard earned money into a government run program? Should I be allowed to do so, or should I be FORCED to either buy private health care or no care at all?

[MikeLibertarian]

Opt-in sounds fair to me. However, I don't think the government has a record of efficiency to manage such a venture, and I doubt that the organization which gets to makes the rules for the industry can also be trusted to play fair as a compedator

I'm not keen on health care but i will say this; the dawkins thing was a quote mine, it was talking about a homeopathic hospital. homeopathy is bollucks, I don't know anything about economics though

[JonKevinCherry]

I agree that the use of force to enroll Americans into a state run or even supported health system is immoral and tyrannical. The liberal arrogance of requiring my taxes to fund their ideas is staggering. Also why do the most ardent statist socialists deny with every breath that they are , in fact, socialists from Obama on down? Ifd the system is good accept the label.

[JonKevinCherry]

YES,YES<YES!!!!

There aren't wooden floors at the hospital I volunteer at. I'd say quote mine, but it's actually a country mine :P

I agree with you though even though I don't agree with your videos idea. I would if you could extrapolate the way somebody could not have their tax dollars put towards certain positions. Or was that not your point? I tend to get lost in these things.

Okay so what you're saying is that because people will have to pay taxes, regardless of their inclusion in the NH system, they will be forced to have the public option, right? They'll be taxed so much that they will have no money for their private health insurance. What are these state regulations? Do you know of one in particular?

[boxant]

Great vid.

It is good to see fellow Atheist Libertarians. It seems many Atheists are Socialists (or at least very left leaning).

[lookit87]

So we replace government with businesses? That will solve the problem? Medicaid failed but did you find out why? You're basically telling me that a government funded health care system failed because it was a government funded healthcare system.

[lookit87]

But NH isn't about making up the rules though, last I checked it was just about providing an alternative health insurance option, and that does act as competition and nothing more.
